up for debate. So why is it such a mystery to know exactly how many kids the Hollywood
legend has? Keep watching to find out. In 1953, Clint Eastwood, recently discharged from the Army and heading back to college
met Maggie Johnson, a graduating Berkeley student, and married her that December. Jumped to 1959
Clint was making a name for himself on TV series Rawhide when he met and had an affair with Roxanne
Tunis. Tunis, who had a brief career as an actor herself, was working as a stuntwoman on the show
and in June 1964, she gave birth to their daughter, Kimber Eastwood. According to The Independent
Clint was initially unaware of Kimber's existence, and once he did learn of her
they had a complicated relationship. As the outlet notes, they went from estranged to
reconciled. But even so, Kimber has repeatedly changed her tune when speaking about her dad
While she once reportedly praised him for always being present, another time she shared how she
apparently tried to make an appointment to see him, but that her father always had other commitments
Whether they butt heads or not, Kimber has followed her famous father into the movie business
According to IMDb, she has 10 acting credits to her name, as well as 8 production credits
But the bulk of her career has been spent in makeup trailers. You work long hours, but I love working on a film set. There's nothing like working on a film set
In addition to being the makeup department head on 45 episodes of Dog the Bounty Hunter
she's been the makeup artist on 485 episodes of Wheel of Fortune from 2005 to 2021
Despite his on-set affair with Roxanne Tunis, Clint Eastwood and Maggie Johnson remained married
and in May 1968, they had their first child, son Kyle Eastwood. Father and son bonded over music
and as Kyle would later reminisce with the South Florida Sun Sentinel, his dad would regularly take
him to the Monterey Jazz Festival when he was still very young, which would inspire a lifelong
passion for music. He eventually started dabbling with piano and guitar until settling on the bass
These days, Kyle is a professional musician. He released his debut jazz album
film, From There to Here, in 1998, and hasn't stopped since. He has even worked with his
dad on numerous occasions Kyle has been a composer and arranger on several of Clint films including Oscar Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby In May 1972 Clint Eastwood and Maggie Johnson welcomed their second child daughter Allison
Eastwood, and she caught the acting bug early. After appearing opposite her dad in 1980's Bronco Billy and Any Which Way You Can, she
made her official acting debut, playing Clint's daughter in 1984's Tightrope. Since then, she's amassed an array of movie credits, including as a writer and director
on 2020 TV series Boned and a producer on 2017's Battle Creek
Opening up about her relationship with Clint, Allison told Closer Weekly, "...My dad makes me laugh
I make him laugh." She also revealed the best advice he's ever given her is to not take life too seriously
Given their good rapport, it's no surprise that Clint even convinced his daughter to
come out of acting retirement, seeing as she planned to call it quits after 2014's Finding
Harmony. According to Variety, he threw a wrench in her plans when he asked if she'd
play his daughter in 2018's The Mule, which he also directed. Allison told Variety
The more I thought about it, I was like, well, maybe this is an opportunity to not only play
his daughter, but also just to spend some free time with him. After 25 years of marriage
Clint Eastwood and Maggie Johnson separated in 1979. They didn't finalize their divorce until 1984, but he quickly started a relationship with
actor Sondra Locke, which lasted from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s, according to The Guardian
He also began an affair with flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves, whom he met at the California
restaurant he owned. In 1986, they had a son, Scott Eastwood, but per GQ Australia, he was initially Scott Clinton
Reeves, and his birth certificate reads, quote, father declined. Okay, this is your dad
Who again? Clint. His name's Clint Eastwood. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that guy
Even so, Clint was a part of his son's life, taking him on movie sets and inspiring him
Recalling how, growing up, he saw his dad in, quote, an aura of greatness, Scott said
he still considers Clint his hero and loves spending time with him
Opening up about their relationship to Men's Journal, Scott said, for sure he was busy
but he definitely was there. To date, he's appeared in four of his dad's movies
Flags of Our Fathers, Gran Torino, Invictus, and Trouble with the Curve
but has made a name in his own right amassing 35 acting credits In 1988 Clint Eastwood and flight attendant Jace Lynn Reeves had a second child together
daughter Catherine Ann Reeves. She was born while her dad was still living with his girlfriend
Sondra Locke, and so both she and brother Scott Eastwood were kept a secret, per The Independent
but that didn't stop Clint from being an involved parent. As GQ Australia learned in 2016
the actor was always protective of his daughter. And when he found out that a 16-year-old Scott
had taken his 14-year-old sister to a party and left her there, he had something to say about it
Scott told the outlet, He popped me and said, You don't ever leave your sister at a party. Ever. If you did something wrong
you were going to get punished. I learned quickly. You don't do that
Catherine eventually tried to follow in her dad's footsteps. According to IMDb
she wrote and starred in a 2015 short called American Virus, before landing a small part in her dad's 2014 remake of Jersey Boys
A year before a bitter parting with Sandra Locke, Clint Eastwood started dating his next partner, actor Frances Fisher
She was his co-star in 1989's Pink Cadillac and 1992's Unforgiven, and they had a daughter named Francesca Ruth Fisher Eastwood in August 1993
According to The Independent, the couple lived together for six years before Fisher discovered
that her boyfriend had a secret young family with Jacelyn Reeves. So, they ended things
But their split didn't stop Francesca from following in her parents' footsteps
nor from building a lasting relationship with her dad. She got her start acting opposite her mom
in 1995's The Stars Fell on Henrietta, then appeared with her dad in 1999's True Crime
She then popped up on 2012 reality show Mrs. Eastwood & Company, alongside Clint's then-wife
Dina, and their daughter, Morgan. In 2014, she landed a small role in her dad's version
of Jersey Boys, and, as she told Refinery29, it was more nerve-wracking than a normal acting job
since the director was also my dad, so it was extra pressure. These days, Francesca is still performing and has amassed 24 acting credits, notably landing
a role in M. Night Shyamalan's 2021 film Old. But as she told Refinery29, being an actor
has been tough because it challenging to differentiate yourself from your family and have your own identity In 1993 while Clint Eastwood was dating Francis Fisher he met anchor person Dina Ruiz when she interviewed him for a Salinas
California, TV station. They married in March 1996 and welcomed daughter Morgan Eastwood that
December. The couple enjoyed 17 years of marriage before Ruiz filed for divorce in 2013
but as she assured Bethany Frankel, My future ex-husband has done nothing. He's probably the sweetest guy I've ever met.
She also told Frankel how Morgan, who was 16 at the time, was taking the divorce in stride
and maintaining a positive relationship with her dad. What's more, she highlighted how
at 83, Clint had just taken their daughter to Coachella. Indeed, as her Instagram shows, Morgan is incredibly close with her family
including big brother and sis, Scott and Francesca Eastwood. She's even called Francesca's son her, quote, favorite human, and the sister's tight-knit
relationship was put on full display in the 2012 reality series Mrs. Eastwood and Company
The exact number of Clint Eastwood's kids has been a topic of hot debate. As The Independent
notes, Clint Eastwood has inexplicably remained bulletproof to scandal while fathering at least
seven children with five different women and having numerous affairs. Clint himself only
helped further fuel speculation of secret kids when he arrived at the 2018 premiere of The Mule
with all seven of his children, plus his secret daughter, Lori Eastwood, who wasn't present for
the main photo call. Allison Eastwood confirmed that Lori is indeed her older half-sister
As it turns out, Clint had actually walked the 2004 Oscars red carpet with Lori
but no one realized she was his daughter. As the Daily Mail reported, she was given up for
adoption at birth and as an adult hired help to find her biological parents. While her
mother refused contact, her famous dad was extremely receptive, a source said
The public revelation came from Eastwood biographer Patrick McGilligan, who explained that Lori
was born out of an affair Clint had while married to first wife Maggie Johnson. The actor reportedly
had no idea that she was even pregnant, according to the Daily Mail, but now he and his long-lost
daughter have a close bond, even celebrating Thanksgiving together. As Lori's son, L.T
Murray, told the outlet, He's been a great father to my mom, and always great to me and my family whenever we see him
